the last quarter of the Nineteenth century
men Can ne found who dispsrage and
make light Of the science of geology, and
those men in the Legislature of great

If the newspapers of Texas should organize
an alliance defensive against the libellaw, they
could speedily force those who live by the libel
law TO get sick Of the libel law Fort Worth
Gazette,
his appeared as an editorial in the Fort
Worth GAZETTE of yesterday. The suggestion
is good one, and "an alliance defensive"
would be powerful If entered into in good faith
by The press of Texas i Dallas News
The press of Texas cannot repeal or
amend the libel law, but if they would
act as unit in just one case, we would
hear no more Of two-bit regulations and
characters claiming damages by the thou
sands of dollars. THE GAZETTE will try
to take care Of itself in the future, but is
willing to act in concert with the papers
of the state, which have common inter
est in this matter.
